0554 PM     Tornado          1 S Marydel             39.10N 75.74W
08/20/2026                   Kent               DE   NWS Storm Survey 

            A tornado occurred in Marydel beginning 
            along the east side of Grygo Rd, about a 
            quarter mile south of the intersection of 
            Mahan Corner Rd, taking down several tree 
            limbs near a residence. It then crossed 
            Grygo Rd and uprooted two very large oak 
            trees that fell on the corner of a home. 
            Additional hardwood trees were uprooted 
            along the property as the tornado headed ENE 
            into a heavily wooded area. Drone footage 
            showed the tornado continued to cut a path 
            through the treeline, snapping large 
            branches and uprooting a variety of trees 
            down a narrow path. While drone footage was 
            unable to confirm the full length of 
            destruction in the wooded area, just on the 
            other side of the wooded area, a residence 
            along Parkers Chapel Rd experienced the 
            total loss of an old barn and shed in 
            addition to several downed trees and 
            branches.
